A variety of other venues are used for outdoor activities such as Chester, Eccleston, West Kirby Marine Lake and Mile End Mill at Llangollen:

• The River Dee at Chester and Eccleston offers both flat and moving water to suit all abilities. Club members often meet there at weekends and on summer evenings.
• West Kirby Marine Lake is an ideal place for beginners to start developing their skills in the outdoors. In recent years, weekly sessions have been run from here during the summer months.
• Mile End Mill at Llangollen offers moving water and the Club often runs fortnightly sessions here during the summer and has trips at other times.

Other activities and trips are organised during the year. All official activities and trips that are organised by the Club follow the safety recommendations of the BCU with coaches that hold the appropriate coaching qualifications as well as lifesaving and first aid certificates. Details of these trips can be found on the Events page.
 
Once you are proficient, much of your paddling will probably be done with friends you make in the club. If you arrange to paddle with friends you are responsible for your own safety.
